The project
What is future parks?
Future parks is a national project that seeks to develop innovative ways to secure and enhance the future of public parks and green spaces. Our project is one of nine ambitious future parks projects in the UK.
Our project
Our future parks is a partnership between the Local Nature Partnership, Nene Park Trust and the county’s seven local authorities. It’s funded by the National Lottery, National Trust and central government.
Our priorities
Our four key priorities are to develop a shared ambition for parks, identify and understand the parks we have, collaborate to enhance our existing open spaces and learn to sustain and manage them for the future.
